🚀This Law Transformed My ADHD Productivity!⁣ ⁣

When I had 6 hours free, I took all 6 hours to study because there was no urgency...⁣

⁣

...but when I only had 3 hours before working out or a meeting, I achieved the same amount of work or even more, because the shorter time made me concentrate and work faster.⁣

⁣

That is the power of Parkinson's Law!⁣

⁣

💡Parkinson's Law is the idea that "work expands to fill the time available for its completion."⁣

⁣

Simply put: The more time I have, the longer I take to do something.⁣

⁣

Understanding this, I leveraged this law to my advantage by setting artificial deadlines and working with timers.⁣

⁣

Here are 4 reasons why my ADHD brain loves this law: ⁣

⁣

1️⃣Urgency: The limited time keeps me engaged and prevents my attention from wandering off-task.⁣

⁣

2️⃣Efficiency over perfection: Limited time pushes me to prefer practical solutions over unnecessary perfection.⁣

⁣

3️⃣Prioritization: I learn to tackle important tasks first, avoiding time-wasters.⁣

⁣

4️⃣Structure: It gives me a clear structure, helping me focus without getting lost in unbounded time.⁣

⁣

Applying Parkinson's Law can make workdays more manageable for us ADHDers. ⁣

⁣

Here's how to start:⁣

⁣

👉Prioritize Tasks: Pick the most important tasks for the next day each evening, focusing only on those.⁣

⁣

👉Set Clear Deadlines: Decide on short, specific time limits for each task you need to do, like one hour for reading a report.⁣

⁣

👉Use a Timer: Start a countdown for each task, pushing you to work faster and stay on track, avoiding the perfection trap.⁣

⁣

This law, along with other tactics, saved me over 20 hours a week. ⁣

⁣

And it might work for you too!⁣

⁣

📲Comment "ACTION" if you will apply artificial deadlines to your workdays. ⁣
